FC:AI - Try out my free Chatgpt chemo tracker

My post contentThe first time I had chemo, I was handed a big paper booklet to track symptoms. A lovely idea. Really important.

Didn’t use it.

Partly because I was exhausted and delirious. But also because it was clunky, and I couldn’t quite get my head around how it was ever going to be useful — for me or for my oncologist (who, frankly, was late for every call and meeting without having to sift through that).

Was I meant to photograph the pages? Email them in? Carry it to appointments? I honestly don’t know. Once you’ve scribbled “nausea 8/10” onto a form, what happens next?

So I’d go through each cycle. Some days really hard. Some days better than expected. And I’d try to remember what helped and what didn’t — but mostly I was just trying to survive in the moment.

By the next cycle, I’d forgotten most of it. What worked. What made things worse. What I swore I’d do differently. Every round felt like starting over again.

This time, I’ve done it differently.

I’ve built a tool — with a bit of AI help. And I’ve tweaked and refined it over each cycle to suit how I work, how I think, and how chemo affects me.

But it started from a really simple place:

• I created a custom ChatGPT

• I told it who I was, what I was going through

• And I asked it to help me track the basics, day by day

Now, every morning and evening, I just open the app on my phone, hit the audio button, and talk. Energy. Sleep. Pain. Nausea. Neuropathy. Toilet. Mood. All the stuff they tell you to watch, but never give you a way to actually track.

And it’s been awesome. It remembers. It compares. It helps connect the dots.

To show the difference it can make, I've created a basic version anyone can use. You should be able to access it with a free ChatGPT account. You don’t need tech skills. You just need to show up, say a few things, and let it do the remembering for you.

Sign up (for free), to try it, share it, and let me know if it helps.

Be aware that ChatGPT isn't perfect, it will make mistakes (more on that another time), and it needs commitment and effort to make it better... But it will learn and improve as you use it.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll share how I’ve evolved my own tracker, and I’ll keep improving the tool if people want to use it.

Let’s manage this sh*t show together, and f cancer royally with a little bit of AI.
